Musician Not Happy with Perfect Pitchfork Score

Prodigy of Mobb Deep was not happy about getting a perfect score from Pitchfork for the re-release of Da Infamous. Dylan McCarthy at ToneDeaf takes a look at the entire situation:

He raises the question: should privileged middle-class white guys be commenting on rap music when they have no firsthand experience of the culture and the struggles and oppression that come with it – in other words, no credibility on the matter?

Prodigy grew up in an environment that I would assume the vast majority of the users here did not experience firsthand. While I probably would not react the same if I was in his position, I can understand why he'd be so defensive of art that is clearly deeply personal

I guess I don't really get the uproar from people here in reaction to artists criticizing bad reviews of their music. Shit, whatever man
